The narrative of this first chapter calls upon the faithful to forsake the world and place our entire disposition toward Christ in heaven...</description></item> <item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:newadvent.org,1999:blog-3972000218521616682.post-7015705829628874520</guid><category>Center</category><title>Life by Faith: A Reflection on the Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time...</title><link>https://stpaulcenter.com/posts/life-by-faith-scott-hahn-reflects-on-the-twenty-seventh-sunday-in-ordinary-time</link><author>null@newadvent.org (null)</author><description>Because of his faith, the just man shall live. We hear in today’s First Reading the original prophetic line made so central by St. Paul. We are to live by faith in Christ who loved us and gave Himself on the Cross for us. The world, though, can seem to us as seventh-century Judah seemed to Habakkuk—in the control of God’s enemies. The strife and discord we face in our own lives can sometimes cause us to wonder, as the prophet does, why God doesn’t seem to hear or intervene when we cry for help.</description></item> <item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:newadvent.org,1999:blog-3972000218521616682.post-7198803235377398430</guid><category>Left</category><title>6 Strange Time Zone Disputes Around the World...</title><link>https://www.mentalfloss.com/history/time-zone-disputes</link><author>null@newadvent.org (null)</author><description>Today, it’s standard to have multiple time zones around the world. But the history of how we got to this point has been fraught with a number of strong disagreements over the years—and some disputes remain unresolved to this day. Here is a chronological look at a number of different time zone disputes from the past (and occasionally the present). </description></item> <item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:newadvent.org,1999:blog-3972000218521616682.post-2043359799382974224</guid><category>Center</category><title>This Sunday, You Will Reject Everything Jesus Says in This Gospel — At First...</title><link>https://media.benedictine.edu/this-sunday-you-will-reject-everything-jesus-says-in-this-gospel-at-first</link><author>null@newadvent.org (null)</author><description>The life of faith is the greatest, most exhilarating life in the world. Sometimes. Other times it is the most tedious, thankless life in the world. It’s supposed to be that way. Here are six reasons why: First, a warning: You may not believe anything Jesus has to say, at first. Second: But think again and what Jesus says makes a lot of sense. Take the mustard seed first. Third: As to the treatment of servants, Jesus truly describes our lives again...</description></item> <item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:newadvent.org,1999:blog-3972000218521616682.post-6213424163446647634</guid><category>Left</category><title>All About Me, Cause and Effect, and Secret Policemen...</title><link>https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/all-about-me-cause-and-effect-and</link><author>null@newadvent.org (Ed Condon)</author><description>My daughter had a birthday recently, rounding the solar circuit for the fourth time. I don’t know at what age a child is able to conceptualize time, or process the significance of “being” 4, or any other number. There was initial satisfaction for her in answering the question “how old are you” correctly with a new number, but it soon wore thin. Now she keeps saying increasingly outlandish numbers just to wind us up...</description></item> <item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:newadvent.org,1999:blog-3972000218521616682.post-8205206591633875456</guid><category>Center</category><title>Pontifical Swiss Guard Restore Historic Dress Uniform Dropped 50 Years Ago...</title><link>https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266947/swiss-guards-protectors-of-the-pope-don-new-uniforms</link><author>null@newadvent.org (null)</author><description>The Swiss Guards, who have protected popes for the last five centuries, now have a new uniform. The mostly wool uniform is the recreation of a historic military dress for use at galas and other important dinners and will not replace the iconic red, orange, and blue “grand gala” uniforms for which the guards are famous.
